Problem saving a sheet named as a cell value

[Peolini]

Hello all,
I would like to have a button on a form which will save the sheet named as the value of a cell..
The button is not a problem, assigning a macro to it neither,

But when I run this macro

Sub SaveFileWithCellValue()
Dim FileName As String
Dim FilePath As String

FileName = Sheets("Eindtest").Range("D2").Value

FilePath = "G:\P1-P3\Dennis\EindtestForms" & FileName & ".xlsm"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FileName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook

End Sub

I get the following message:

Where do I go wrong?

The form/sheet is already in .xlsm format and the target folder also already contains other .xlsm files.


Thank you.

Hello,
You need to use
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
cf. XlFileFormat enumeration (Excel)

Thank you.

Cannot save a workbook with macros to a normal xlsx file as indicated by the Fileformat:=XLOpenXMLWorkBook in your example line of code.

Oh yes, you need to put "\" between the folder name and the file name. Like so
FilePath = "G:\P1-P3\Dennis\EindtestForms\" & FileName & ".xlsm"
Also, what is the value of range D2 ?

Unfortunately still the same message. Debugging shows the last line in yellow..

D2 is a simple number like "M24215569"

Well, are you not supposed to use variable FilePath as argument for saveAs ? Because you use fileName in your screenshot.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled

But if this still does not work, the value of your cell is invalid. It is what the error message is saying very clearly. Try to print it to see what comes out.

And the solution would be??

I have changed the cell format from D2 from "general" to "text" and that worked better. no messages.
But also no saved files in the specified folder....

Did you try changing FileName to FilePath as @saboh12617 advised? Changing the format of the cell makes no difference btw

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
